With the Asian region continuing to remain a hotspot for trade and investment, gone are the days when Singapore law firms were content simply with the domestic pie. Singapore Big Four firm Allen & Gledhill, which already has a presence in Myanmar, Vietnam and Malaysia, recently announced the open-ing of an office in Shanghai – its first in China – and recently established a new alliance in Indonesia.
Singapore law firm Oon & Bazul has established a tax offering after hiring Ma HanFeng as a partner. Ma was most recently at specialist tax boutique Taxise Asia.
